Nintendo has announced that they are partnering with Mojang and Microsoft to bring Super Mario and Minecraft together. The partnership will see all Minecraft: Wii U Edition users receive a free Super Mario Mash-Up Pack on May 18th.

According to a Nintendo press release, the Super Marion Mash-Up Pack will offer the following content.

“The Super Mario Mash-Up Pack gives players 40 new Super Mario-themed skins, which transform the game’s characters into familiar heroes like Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, and even troublemakers like Bowser, Wario and all seven of Bowser’s minions. All the world and item textures in the game will also be redone, providing players the opportunity to create their own Super Mario-themed locations within the world of Minecraft. While building, players will even enjoy listening to the smooth sounds of 15 pieces of music from Super Mario 64. Builders of all ages will love crafting massive new worlds using building blocks inspired by a series as accessible and recognisable as Super Mario.”

For a better look at the update, Nintendo has released a trailer featuring the Mash-Up Pack.
